in the first one, the world image is pretty dark, and not really necessary. I like the 3D type.
As for the other panels, I'd place the boxes with text inside in the same on each panel. Currently, they're in a different spot each time.
In the third panel (the purple one), the text is getting lost in that color. You should change the color of the text, or tweak the colors on the background, so that the text pops off the panel as much as it does in the other panels.

These images make think the site is more for people interested in paranormal activity than spiritual enlightenment.
When I think spiritual, I think of bright images involving clouds and the sun, or The Dalai Lama, or candles and incenses or meditation and/or yoga.
These images seem way too abstract for my liking.
I'd also like to see all the buttons lined up on one side, or the button background to be removed.
Hope this helps, looking forward to seeing the next version.

Shane Ernest commented:thanks farshad! I can understand your take on it!
i was trying to merge the aesthetic style of the rest of the site, with the images for this slideshow. . .
ill have to see if taking it in the more ethereal, lighter direction helps at all. . .
my only issue with "sun piercing through the clouds" type image is they are too stereotypical - which is why i used imagery with symbolism, i.e. ganesh, etc.
so far the people that relate to the site have a level of awareness where they understand non-physical energies at a more subtle and infinite perspective, less the finite response commonly received
thanks for your comments! I appreciate your views!

Espree Devora commented:Maybe "spiritual" isn't the right word. More simply said "positive thinking" or "progressive thinking" -- But the messages can be delivered to your viewers without labeling them for sure like http://theartofchase.com/

Shane Ernest commented:
progressive might be a better choice - however many of my current clients do seem to be spiritually aware, and progressive thinkers. . . ill check out that link too ;-)

It's a bit hard to say, without seeing them at their final position, but maybe they should all be the same blue..?

Shane Ernest commented:
i was questioning that too! But I want to do my best to incorporate color as much as possible, besides blue that is!
Ill give it a whirl and see where it goes!

That Entrepreneur one on your site is GREAT too.
My favorite one the stands out the most is "The World..." It just pops. Love the 3D effect.
The green and purple do kinda get lost.
I like the "actualize your..." but I think the background needs to be lightened up.

On the bottom 4 I would suggest ditching the inner shadow on the text. I've always opposed inner shadowed and beveled/embossed text. Also, watch your alignment. The bottom two are almost right aligned, but 'potential' sticks out a but further than the top line. Also I think consistent alignment of the button in the lower left corner would help. Abstract images are good, but fight the text in terms of legibility (especially purple one). Try to find a good complimentary colour for the text. How about putting more emphasis on "actualize" and "potential" by dropping point size of the other text. Really let the key words POP and use the other words to lead the eye. Maybe three lines as in: Actualize (big) your full (smaller) Potential (big)

Thanks Andrew! Ill try out modifying the text a bit and seeing where it goes! I can also understand legibility being an issue with those abstract BG's. . .
I can understand your dis-taste for anything with a drop shadow or embossing - i just wanted to create that faux lettepress feel - im a sucker for it after working in the print industry for a while. I love letterpress. ;-)

These aren't bad, but just seem like banner ads to me. I instantly want to ignore all of these as knee jerk reaction. I would try and make a banner that's more inviting, less busy and less "advertisementy", does that make sense?

but keep it up g8 color choice!!

Shane Ernest commented:
thanks swarat! im going to combine them with the layout on the next revisions, so hopefully in context they may look less like banner ads. as they stand now, they do seem banner ad-ish! =P
thanks again!

thanks shawn! i agree about the box placement - that was something I was trying to figure out!
Ill see if taking the globe out makes a better impact! I still need to re-render that scene anyway!
thanks!
